Ugh...this is the part I dread. This is the part that kills me at every job interview. I dread the moment when they ask: "So...tell me a little about yourself."
I mean, there's not much to tell. I'm nobody special. Never claimed to be. I just really enjoy doing a lot of different things and sharing them with other people. So I'm going to be brief here.
I was born in New York City in 1979, I now live in Morrisville, NC. I went to school in NY and graduated from St. Francis College with a bachelor's degree in Audio/Video production. Currently, I have a wonderful job at Wakemed Hospital in Raleigh as an audio/video production tech. It's a very rewarding job and I get to use many of the skills I learned in college. I'm doing what I love and I'm being paid for it. Isn't that the American dream??
On the side, I run my own production company, "Oganza Bi Sasa Productions". That is the Pakuni (for old Land of the Lost fans) translation of "Big Magic". Through this company, I produce movies, record music and even perform magic. I've produced several short films, recorded several hundred pieces of music and have taken my magic act on the road now and then. In all these things I dabble. Whether or not any of them will ever make any extra money is anyone's guess. The important thing is I enjoy every minute of it.
In November 2007, I married my sweetie, Jessica, in Raleigh, NC. Jess and I met on DaretoSing.com. We currently have a pug named Mort and two cats, Ashley and Little Niko.
My dad, Jack Kolman, passed away in 2005 from liver failure. I learned many things from my dad, but the most important things I learned from him were to be kind to others, be disciplined in all I do, and to always have faith. While my individual faith often wavers, I know that God is the one in control of my life, and that is a very comfy thought.
My hope is that this site will serve as a hub for all my work. I hope that people will enjoy coming here and always check back to see what is going on, to read an article, check my Myspace, just chat, whatever. Only time will tell. Until that time, have a blessed life, and be thankful for everything you have, because you never know when it will be gone.
